Recently, we required an authoring experience where an author can re-order a list of fixed tabs to their desired order. The only Granite widget that allows drag-n-drop ordering is multifield, but we don’t need a multifield. We just wanted the ability to order a fixed list. An Existing solution ACS Commons has this Draggable Lists […]

If you are on AEM 6.5 and have upgraded to Service Pack 5 (AEM version 6.5.5) you might have noticed that you can no longer login to AEM via CRX/DE This change was implemented in the SP5 update and according to the CSE that our team worked with: “The login and logout buttons have been […]

In a previous blog post, I expressed how excited I am to be presenting at Adobe Summit as a finalist for AEM Rockstar 2020. As you know, Adobe Summit has gone virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That also meant that, and to my dismay, the in-person rockstar session was cancelled. But fear not! because […]

Recently, I saw this post from Arun Patidar where he added a button to the AEM dialog to trigger Asset Side Panel to open. I had fixed this issue with CSS before and decided to share it.

Ever since I first worked with the AEM Rich Text Editor, it was clear to me that it was buggy, not easily extensible, and sometimes unusable. But the main issue for me was extensibility. There is no official API documentation or any documentation on how to build RTE Extensions. This is the reason I started […]

Recently, my colleagues and I discussed frustration with the editing process for AEM dialogs. You have to edit the dialog XML, sync it, and preview it on an AEM page. One idea discussed was having a tool to edit AEM dialogs within AEM and how beneficial that would be for us. I thought it was […]

If you’ve configured SAML with AEM and done a Google search on the matter, you’d have likely come across one of these lengthy examples: [1] [2] [3] [4] or looked at the Official AEM Doc for SAML integration. In this article, I’d like to show you 2 things: The fastest local SAML setup (which takes […]
